Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"retreat!"

After Sima Cuo confirmed that Bai Qi was still alive, he immediately led the Qin army to retreat.

Suddenly, the dark Qin army disappeared quickly from the sight of Chu Ning and others like a tide.

The entire Qin army camp was empty.

Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Come on, go in and see if their food and supplies are left behind."

At the command, the Chu army immediately rushed to the Qin army camp.

A quarter of an hour later, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, all the baggage and food supplies of the Qin army are in the camp!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Have you checked it? Is there any damage?"

He was worried that Sima Cuo would put pressure on him.

The soldier shook his head: "The baggage is fine, and the food and fodder are also fine."

"Order all the food and supplies to be transported into the city!"

Chu Ning made a prompt decision: "Ran Ming, Guan Yu, you take 20,000 soldiers as the vanguard and go to take over Yucheng. It would be fine if Sima Cuo is willing to fulfill his promise."

"If they are playing tricks, then we will just kill them in the city."

"Everyone else, go back to the city and rest!"

At the command, the Chu army cheered.

This time, they not only captured Bai Qi alive, but also forced the Qin army to retreat, which was a great victory.

The initial gloom was swept away and the momentum was like a rainbow.

For the next two days, Chu Ning rested in the city, and then received news from Ran Ming.

Yucheng fell smoothly into their hands!

To this end, Chu Ning mobilized a large army to continue advancing and stationed in Yucheng.

In this way, the troops of Chu State directly reached the land of Qin State.

Yucheng, the government office.

Chu Ning, who came here for the first time, sat in the main seat, with the generals standing below him.

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Generals, I have summoned you today for an important matter."

"Regarding Bai Qi's treatment, I plan to use him to exchange for someone from the Qin State."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically.

Everyone knows Bai Qi's abilities. If Bai Qi is released, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Han Xing was the first to stand up and object, saying sternly, "Your Highness, this is absolutely not possible!"

"Bai Qi is too dangerous. If we send him back, there will be endless troubles."

Su Tingmei also frowned and said, "Bai Qi is a famous general in the world, and he is deeply loved by the soldiers of the Qin army. He must be resentful of being captured by Your Highness."

"If we let this man go back, he will definitely do everything he can to seek revenge."

Even Guan Yun looked solemn at this moment, and stood up to persuade: "Your Highness, Bai Qi cannot be released, otherwise our soldiers will suffer because of him."

The other generals were also discussing at this moment, telling each other their thoughts.

Only Ran Ming and Zhao Yu did not speak.

As for Zhang Xuan, after the Qin army retreated, Chu Ning let him return to Liangzhou.

Chu Ning looked at the people in front of him who were constantly talking and was not surprised.

Bai Qi is the nightmare of all generals in the world. No one dares to say they have a chance of winning against him.

If you can kill, of course it is better to kill.

But he wanted to let this person go back now, which naturally made everyone puzzled.

"okay!"

Chu Ning said coldly: "I want to exchange Bai Qi for Princess Changping. This deal is a good deal!"

"Princess Changping and I are engaged, but now she is imprisoned by the Emperor of Qin. I cannot sit idly by and watch."

"Besides, Princess Changping once saved my life. For reasons of both reason and public and private, I cannot ignore her."

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals suddenly quieted down.

If Bai Qi was replaced by someone else, they would still have reasons and excuses to object.

But if it comes to Princess Changping, they really have nothing to say.

After all, he once saved their prince's life!

For a moment, the scene became quiet.

Chu Ning stood up slowly and said sternly, "I know you are worried that Bai Qi will take revenge after he is released!"

"But, since I was able to defeat him once, I can defeat him a second time, and even a third time!"

"Why should I be afraid of a defeated general?"

The powerful words were intended to encourage everyone's morale, but everyone had different expressions.

Some had wry smiles on their faces, some remained silent, and some looked helpless.

There is no way. Bai Qi’s reputation is too big, and it is almost an insurmountable mountain on the heads of all generals.

They are unwilling to let such people go back.

Seeing that no one was talking, Chu Ning couldn't help but shake his head: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. This matter still needs the consent of the Emperor of Qin."

"If he doesn't agree to change people, then we can only go to war, and I will let Bai Qi be sacrificed in public!"

These words immediately excited the generals.

Yes, if the Emperor of Qin does not agree to this matter, Bai Qi will be dead.

As for Princess Changping, they believed that the Emperor of Qin would not do anything to her.

After all, she is my biological daughter, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, then stood up and said in unison:

"Your Highness is wise!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said, "I have already sent someone to pass the message to Ying Zheng. Next, we just need to wait for Ying Zheng's reply."

"In the next few days, everyone should familiarize themselves with the terrain, train the troops, and prepare to attack Qin!"

"Yes!" Everyone saluted in unison and then retreated.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was also reading Chu Ning's handwritten letter.

Yangcheng, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng read Chu Ning's letter expressionlessly, then threw the letter to Baili Xi who was standing in the hall:

"Prime Minister, take a look for yourself!"

Baili Xi picked up the letter that fell on the ground and took a look at it, and was immediately surprised.

"I didn't expect Chu Ning to be so bold. He actually wanted to exchange Bai Qi for Princess Changping!"

After a pause, Baili Xi frowned and said, "This doesn't make sense. Chu Ning can't be unaware of General Bai Qi's reputation!"

"Under such circumstances, he still chose to exchange General Bai Qi with us. I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on."

"Is there an explosion?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "I really want to know where the explosion you mentioned is?"

"This……"

Baili Xi smiled bitterly: "I can't think of it for now, but this is obviously irrational, there must be a deeper meaning behind it."

"And now that the Chu army has occupied Yucheng, it is considered an invasion of our dynasty. On the one hand, they want to exchange Princess Changping with us, and on the other hand, they want to invade our dynasty. They have made preparations for both situations."

"I suggest that we mobilize troops to the front line and have General Sima Cuo lead us to recapture Yucheng!"

But just as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng stood up with a sneer and said, "We must mobilize the troops!"

"But, all the troops are under my command!"

As soon as these words came out, Baili Xi's face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, do you... do you want to lead the army in person?"

"Not bad!"

Ying Zheng said coldly: "In this battle, Gaine was killed, Bai Qi was captured, and our city was captured. This is such a great shame and humiliation. I have become a laughing stock of the world!"

"So, I will lead the army in person and take back everything that belongs to me!"

This time, he will not give Chu Ning any chance.
